OK153-S: New single-board computer with Linux features both ARM and RISC-V processors

The OK153-S is a new single-board computer based on the FET153-S SOM. The FET153-S is essentially placed on a carrier board, which allows the FET153-S to be used like a Raspberry Pi, as the connections are designed in a more or less conventional form. The SoC installed is the Allwinner T153, which features a computing chip with two different architectures, combining four ARM Cortex-A7 cores with a RISC-V E907 chip. According to Forlinx, this makes the OK153-S suitable for both powerful data processing and applications with high real-time performance requirements.

Depending on the model selected, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB of DDR3 RAM is installed, along with 256 or 512 MB of NAND storage or eMMC storage with a capacity of up to 8 GB. Linux 5.10 is supported, a system that is likely to be familiar to many developers.

Users will search in vain for an HDMI port on the OK153-S, which is not really surprising for a system primarily designed for industrial use. MIPI CSI is available, and screens can be connected via MIPI DSI. Further ports include two USB 2.0 ports, one USB-A port, one Ethernet port, two RS485 ports, two CAN-FD ports and much more. Slots for a nano-SIM and a microSD memory card are also on board. 

Information on price or availability is still pending.
